Does Speed Matter?
Speed is a secondary goal - you cannot get a fast time without playing well. Fast times come from minimising wasted moves, not from clicking quickly. If you want to improve your time in Turn 1, focus on decision speed rather than physical click speed. In Turn 3, the limiting factor is usually stock-cycle management, not hesitation.
What Really Defines a "Good" Game?
Beyond time, many players track win streaks, minimum move counts, and scores. Completing a game at all is a win worth celebrating in Turn 3 draw mode. Do not anchor too hard on arbitrary time benchmarks when you are still learning the game.
